Reading a bit round delta variant it seems to be causing a lot more younger people to be hospitalised - infants included. I was reading a thread from a doctor in the states saying that the people going into ICU this time were much younger.

And the anti-vax (poison) Freedom Alliance's Front of Judea are pushing the 'save our children' narrative these days. Marching mask less with kids who are no doubt vaccined to the hilt. I suppose people just need to belong to something

'two-tier society'

There should be a two tier society right now.

1. The dumb fukks that are ostracised.
2. The rest of us.

ROI weekly update. A bigger rise in cases this week than last not sure what has caused that, while hospital numbers seems to have a simliar increase each week now.

10,619 cases (1359 more than last Saturday
208 in hospital (45 more than a week ago)
31 In ICU (increase of 5 on last Sunday)

Bank Holiday weekend?

A rising trend coming into the education year wouldn't be good.

Cases are rising everywhere.

This f**king thing should be just about done, at least in the west where vaccines are plentiful, but here we go again for another wave, with a much more serious strain, and with young kids still without a vaccine.

Shouldn't be more serious with vaccines.

As per HSE today..

20% of Ireland's new confirmed cases are people who are fully vaccinated. And those vaccinated people are reporting very mild illness"

Thats a successful vaccine,  as history has told us once any virus becomes a mild illness things can return to normal.

Unfortunately over here in the states, there are significant numbers of people who refuse to get vaccinated, and they are putting themselves and unvaccinated kids (including my own) at serious risk from both the delta variant and whatever other variants are currently developing and starting to spread.

Fortunately, some parts of the US, in both the public and private spheres, are bringing in vaccine mandates. Hopefully that will help overcome the effects of some of the nonsense being spread around.

My kids summer school program has already been impacted by positive covid tests. The new school year is going to be the same. Speaking personally, my work, at least, has already said they're going to be much less flexible about allowing people to work from home if their kids classes are switch to remote due to covid testing.

How? Surely the only people they are putting at risk is themselves?  The vaccine doesnt stop people from getting the virus, carrying it and passing it on.  By not getting the vaccine they are risking their own reaction to the virus if they get it.

The more disease and spread there is, the greater the chances of mutations leading to increased virulence and transmissibility. That includes the evolution of possible new strains that could render existing vaccines less effective.

Seatbelts do not stop road accidents, helmets do not prevent injuries in hurling, but in both cases they improve things. Likewise, with vaccines, they do not prevent transmission but they reduce it.

Honestly can't believe this has to be explained again at this stage of proceedings.

I seen this mentioned on the Tyrone Kerry thread as well. Though true the various vaccines have be proven to greatly reduce transmission along with reducing severity of illness.

Yep, the best way to protect against variants is for everyone to get Covid and build up natural immunity. Herd immunity.
The immunoligist didn't get into the downside regarding the millions of deaths that would cause, but he wasn't asked.

This is true and obvious. The issue is that even if N. America or Europe do get a lot of people vaccinated, the variants can still arise in the rest of the world that is not vaccinated.
